Cover news reporter Li Huagang photo report
On February 7, the seventh day of the first lunar month, the first day of work after the Spring Festival, Wang Zhigang, the first secretary of Jiulong Village in Taiping Town, Gulin County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, began to enter the village early in the morning to "walk away".
"Today is the first day of work after the Spring Festival, and the first thing I want to go to is the home of Wang Ankang, the secretary of the village party branch." According to the customs of the village, to go to the village to "go to the household", Wang Zhigang naturally does not "empty-handed", he is holding in his hand is the planning renderings of the Jiuxikou ferry in Jiulong Village.
"Secretary Ankang, have a hot year!" After nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Zhigang drove to the home of Wang Ankang, the secretary of the village party branch, and used to work, and they should both be in the village committee office at this point, but today Wang Zhigang asked Wang Ankang to wait for him at home. "On the first day of work after the festival, I will listen to your New Year's plan, talk to you about the key projects in the village, and after the end of the day, we will go to the jiuxikou ferry port site together to improve the planning and construction of the ferry port, and then exchange opinions in detail." After a simple greeting, before he took a sip of the hot tea that Wang Ankang had poured for him, Wang Zhigang began to talk to Wang Ankang about his Work in the New Year.
Excavate and use red resources to lead cadres and officers to start a business
The renderings of the Jiuxikou ferry port in Jiulong Village that Wang Zhigang took in his hand are not simple. Because this Jiuxikou ferry port is only a few kilometers away from the Taiping Ferry, and is at the confluence of the Chishui River and the Yanjing River, the Red Army was one of the important ferries of the Second And Fourth Crossing of Chishui during the Long March of the Red Army.
"Kowloon is a semi-high mountain, and the river on all sides does not enter the mountain, and it must be irrigated with river water unless the river is moved up the mountain." This is a slip of the tongue that used to circulate among the villagers of Kowloon, the road is impassable, the water is inconvenient, so that the villagers of Kowloon Village who have lived here for generations have suffered a lot.
However, Kowloon Village has revolutionary relics and rich red resources, how to excavate and use red resources, so as to educate and guide village cadres to start a business, which has become a magic weapon for Wang Zhigang to strengthen party building and strengthen the role of grass-roots fortresses at the grass-roots level.
"Our village should be guided by party building, inherit the red cultural gene, and create a beautiful red village in the country, first of all, we must do a good job in the planning and upgrading of the red cultural square of Jiuxikou Ferry, and then we must upgrade the 3,000-mu sweet orange agricultural park and revitalize the cattle farm in the village." Wang Zhigang and Wang Ankang's New Year's work ideas quickly reached an agreement, along the layout of the "one line and three districts" of Kowloon Village that they studied last year, as a work overall plan, to promote rural revitalization.
The project has helped to increase income and consolidate the results of poverty alleviation
After exchanging work ideas, Wang Zhigang and Wang Ankang rushed to the scene of Jiuxikou Ferry.
This ferry port, which once fulfilled the glorious red mission, still stands there today, and the sound of the rushing river and the red stone carvings on the stone walls by the river are always a reminder to the people who came here not to forget this glorious history. Kowloon Village has now built a cultural square here, and the basic work has been completed, but the soul building , the relief , has not yet been completed.
"It's not enough to have a relief, we also need to refine and decorate the perimeter of the relief." Wang Zhigang asked Wang Ankang's opinion, and Wang Ankang suggested planting climbing tigers in flower pots under the walls of the cultural square, which can cover the walls of the square with natural green in one year and increase the beauty of the square.
There are also several vegetable fields next to the Ferry Cultural Square, and the home of Yu Fenzhong, a poverty-alleviated household, is also here. Wang Zhigang beckoned Yu Fenzhong to sit down together, learn about the latest situation of their family, listen to his New Year's plans, and see if there were any difficulties that needed to be solved for him.
"I am now working in a nearby winery, there is a salary of more than three thousand yuan a month, life is not a problem, but my wife's job has not yet landed, I want to open a tea stall in front of my home, this ferry cultural square is not to upgrade the completion of the building, when the time will definitely usher in a large number of guests, open a tea stall can not only serve everyone, but also increase our family's income." Wang Zhigang and Yu Fenzhong nagged about their daily routines and gave strong support and affirmation to the idea of poverty alleviation households. "The development of red cultural tourism is an important way to increase income in our village, driven by projects, and can consolidate the results of poverty alleviation, killing two birds with one stone."
Build a sweet orange sorting center Develop green industries to enlarge the collective economy
"Red tourism has developed, and a large number of tourists come to Kowloon Village, and they can also let them take some of the specialties of our village." Coming out of Yu Fenzhong's house, Wang Zhigang rushed to the red station of the sweet orange industrial park in the village. Most of Kowloon Village is located between 350 and 700 meters above sea level, which belongs to the dry and hot river valley, which is particularly suitable for growing sweet oranges.
According to the idea of "one sweet orange per household, one household and one person for labor", Kowloon Village has planted more than 3,000 mu of sweet oranges continuously in the development mode of "village collective company + special cooperative + farmer", and has achieved initial results. After more than 3,000 mu of sweet oranges are fully fruited, it is expected that the village collective company can increase its income by 560,000 yuan, the special cooperative can increase its income by 16 million yuan, and the sweet orange growers can increase their income by 8 million yuan.
After the sweet orange is fully fruited, the first thing to face is the logistics problem, so Wang Zhigang came here to listen to the suggestions of the villagers on the site selection of the sweet orange sorting center.
"Our village is just near the Taiping entrance and exit of the Sugu Expressway, and the sorting center is built on the access line of the expressway, which is convenient and fast, and we all support it." Near the entrance and exit of the Xugu Expressway, there is a 70-acre abandoned land, which is now used as wasteland, and the villagers have no opinion at all.
After the opening of the Taiping Town section of the Xugu Expressway on January 1, 2017, Kowloon Village, with 3,485 people in the village, withdrew from the sequence of poor villages that year, and in 2020, 508 poor households in 122 households in the village achieved all poverty alleviation. "But in the past, when there was no road access, it took more than two hours to walk from our village to Taiping Town to catch the market, and the farthest villager group went to the town to catch the market, and it even took a whole day to go back and forth." Nowadays, it is only a few minutes away to drive to the town. Wang Zhigang said happily that benefiting from the country's poverty alleviation policy, the hardened road mileage of Kowloon Village has now reached more than 30 kilometers. In recent years, the village has won the honors of provincial health village, municipal civilized village, luzhou city poverty alleviation advanced village, county-level advanced party organization, county-level rural cultural revitalization model village and so on.
